Arundel Castle Medieval Jousting

A medieval tournament at local Arundel Castle in West Sussex was an opportunity to occupy grandson
for a few hours and take a few photographs. Whilst colourful, it was very difficult to take decent snaps due to Health & Safety requirements - ropes and barriers, plus the presence of loudspeakers
and modern signs!Nevertheless it was a very interesting day and a tribute to the participants.

I live near Arundel and believe it or not I've never been to any of the medieval festival's or jousting events. Arundel is certainly a lovely place, but the traffic can be a nightmare on bank holidays!!
